Chapter 79 Drunk and talking nonsense
"Mother, don't mess around with the mandarin ducks. My brother is now focused on studying. If he is distracted and fails to pass the exam, isn't it our fault?"

Only then did Madam Qi stop, and turned to point her finger at Xi'er.

"Then this girl is the boss?"

"Mother, Miss Xi'er is still young."

"What's the matter, there are quite a few engagements at her age. The head nephew of our family, the Qi family and that child's head office, I think they are a good match."

Qi Yuan frowned, he tugged on the old lady's clothes, and whispered:

"Mother, you celebrate your birthday today, did you drink too much? Don't talk about those messy things, your nephew is a fool."

Mrs. Qi immediately became unhappy, "He is stupid, but she is fine, so ugly, just a fool with an ugly girl, a match made in heaven"

"Mother!" Qi Yuan gritted his teeth and stared at her angrily.

Her voice was so loud that it could be heard in the whole living room. Ji Kang and Mrs. Luo turned green with anger, and their hands were clenched into fists, but Xi'er glanced at them calmly.

"Mother, brother, we were invited here, so let's just go through the motions. She was drunk and talking nonsense, so she said that I should be rationed to a pig. No, I have the final say. Let's eat, there is no need to be angry."

The three simply pretended not to hear, and ate their food in silence, Xiao Jian's face was very ugly.

When Mrs. Qi said this, it was a slap in the face. He was not in a good temper. He immediately stood up and glanced at Mrs. Qi's favorite little granddaughter.

"Madam, your granddaughter is fourteen too."

"Yes." Mrs. Qi looked at her granddaughter dotingly.

"Are you engaged?"

"No, I have to pick and choose carefully, this is my heart"

Xiao Jian lowered his face, "She is your heart, she is fourteen years old and not married yet, and my sister Xi'er is just 12 years old after the Chinese New Year, so she is not the heart of Mrs. Luo, let you say whatever you want For a fool?"

Old Mrs. Qi blushed. Among these people, she was most afraid of Xiao Jian. His family background was said to be very unusual.

Seeing that Xiao Jian didn't give the Qi family face at all on such a day, Qi Yuan's younger brothers and sisters actually angered the old lady in public. They were all angry, and they all stood up and wanted to quarrel with him.

Xiao Jian glanced at them, "Do you think I'm wrong?"

"Xiao Jian, today is our mother's birthday, shouldn't you pay attention to your words and deeds?"

"If you want to celebrate your birthday, live it well, look down on others, just bury others like this, I want to tell this girl of your family to a fool, are you willing?"

"Hmph, she is just an ugly little village girl, how can she be compared with my daughter?"

Xiao Jian sneered, "Oh, I can't tell, I usually dress well, and everyone is dignified, I didn't expect that they are all such high-minded people,
But don't forget, you are also village men, village women, and village girls. If Qi Yuan hadn't passed the Jinshi examination and became a small sesame county magistrate, how dare you call my sister Xi'er a village girl?
Which of you is better than her?Give her a fool?No good boy in this world dare to say that he is worthy of her, so why do you guys?Ah bah, I, Xiao Jian, really came here by mistake today, "

Xiao Jian pointed at the members of the Qi family, who all lowered their heads when he said that, Xiao Jian roared angrily.

"Come on, carry that basket of peaches back to the car for me, and then carry the presents brought by the Luo family back to the car. In the future, if your Qi family has something to do, never look for me at the Xiao and Luo families. You are not worthy to eat the things I brought. Come, carry away, let Lao Tzu carry away."

Xiao Jian supported Mrs. Qiao in the front, Nanny Zhou supported Mrs. Luo to keep up, and Ji Kang pulled Xi'er behind.

The two families got into the same carriage, Xi'er and Ji Kang were driving the carriage in front, and the coachman from Xiao's family in the back was pulling the gifts, and they left the Qi mansion and walked away.

Qi Yuan stood up from his seat with a dark face, and he took a deep breath.

"You have lived in my house for such a long time, go back to your own house tomorrow, my temple is small and I can't let you have a big Buddha."

"Brother, don't you care about my mother?"

"That's your mother? My mother is lying in the cemetery. You are the ones who should be filial,"

"The stepmother is also a mother"

"She didn't raise me, and she didn't treat me well when she entered Qi's house. When my father was seriously ill, he divided the family, and my mother didn't belong to me. So you still want to live with me?"

"Brother, you will make people laugh like this"

"Sneaky? Did I not give pension money? Or didn't I share the money for her medical treatment? Could it be that the parents and sons don't support the mother, but push the mother to be raised by the stepson? Are you laughing at me, or laughing at you?"

"We're not leaving!"

"Okay, then I will apply to be transferred from here and go to work in a border town. It is best for you to drag your family and continue to suck my blood and gnaw my bones."

Mrs. Qi immediately cried when she heard his words, "Yuan'er, I didn't do anything, why do you hate me so much?"

"Mother, let me ask you, are you the empress dowager or the empress?"

"I, I'm not, don't talk nonsense"

"I think you are. You said that no one would refuse your marriage. We have heard it twice. You still have to press on him. Miss Xi'er, although she looks ugly, she is hardworking and capable. How many poor people have been solved in Pingyuan County to go to work, how many people have no longer starved, and a good girl like her deserves a fool?"

"Mum, don't you know?"

"If you don't know, you shouldn't talk nonsense. They can tolerate you, but Xiao Jian can't. She is Xiao Jian's friend. When you step on others, please see whose friend it is."

"My mother is wrong, don't drive my mother away"

"Please mother go back to the village with the second brother. You shouldn't be raised by me, and I have no obligation to raise the second brother or the third sister. They all have families, so what's the matter with my family?"

"Okay, okay, okay, if you don't want to be filial to me, then let's go to the magistrate's yamen to reason."

"Okay, I'll be with you at any time"

"you"

Seeing that Qi Yuan refused to give in, the old lady stood up angrily, and rushed to the back house with her men.

Seeing this scene, the others naturally couldn't sit down any longer, and they all left one by one.

Only Qi Yuan, his wife and their son were left in the front hall, only Qi Yuan gave an order.

"Come here, go to the yamen and ask Liu Butou to bring ten officials to escort Mrs. Qi back to the village."

At this time Xiao Jian and the others had already left the city, and he kept apologizing to Mrs. Luo in the car.

"Old lady, I'm sorry, I made you angry when you were hungry, I didn't think carefully"

"Farmer, it doesn't matter if you are hungry, don't be angry. Compared with the Li family, this old Mrs. Qi is not so bad, we can bear it"

"She is not the mother of County Magistrate Qi"

"Ah? Not my mother?"

"Yes, she is Qi Yuan's stepmother. At that time, Qi Yuan was already sixteen. She was able to work and earn money. She never raised Qi Yuan for a day, and she was not good to him. His father knew that his stepwife was not good to the eldest son. Well, the family was divided when he was seriously ill, and Qi Yuan was not married at that time."

"Magistrate Qi is also a hard-working man"

"At that time, his stepmother asked him to pay pensions every year. He was a scholar and didn't want to lose his tongue. According to the documents when the family was divided,
He never gave her a penny less, and later Qi Yuan passed the Jinshi examination and became an official, the family didn't want to farm anymore, and stalked and lived with him.

This birthday celebration was also proposed by his brother and sister. They wanted to have fun, but in fact they wanted to take advantage of his official position to receive gifts. Qi Yuan didn't agree with him.

He only invited a few close friends, and told him not to bring good things. He didn't want to get a reputation for being a bribe because of this. "

"It turned out to be like this. Alas, County Magistrate Qi is really miserable. With such a stepmother, I'm afraid it will not be easy in the future."

"His character will definitely not endure it all the time. Just watch, he will definitely take advantage of today's incident and send them all away."

"If you send them away, they will come back again. They are somewhat like the Li family."
